IPAF (the International Powered Access Federation) will use Bauma to take visitors through its Safety Experience, a walk-through learning experience on how to use powered access equipment safely and effectively. The outdoor stand will highlight the association’s “Spread the load” campaign promoting the correct use of spreader plates, share results and findings from its growing accident reporting database. Falls from height are still the single largest killer in the workplace, says IPAF, and powered access i

Enerpac is using Bauma to show off its new generation of multi-functional synchronous lifting systems, called the Evo System. The specialised hydraulic engineering and lifting technology manufacturer is using digitally controlled hydraulics on the Evo units and one standard PLC-controlled hydraulic power unit can be used for nine hydraulic movement functions. The integrated touch screen offers a user friendly interface with logical visual system management and navigation says Enerpac. The hydraulic movement

Manitowoc will unwrap two new Grove rough-terrain cranes at Bauma: the RT550E and RT770E, as well as a new lattice-boom crawler crane. The 45tonne capacity RT550E offers the highest and longest boom in its class at 39m and, with a chassis length of just under 12m, a width of 2.55m and an operating weight of 29tonnes, the new machine is a compact crane that can run well within most national European road regulations for heavy machinery says Manitowoc. The RT550E also features the manufacturer’s new crane con

Sennebogen’s new 655 HD heavy-duty cycle crawler crane is one of several innovations on the company’s stand at Bauma. Designed for heavy-duty tasks on construction sites and in the extractive industry, the 655 D can be used with a dragline bucket or in foundation construction. The 55tonne capacity machine can be used with a 3.5m3 Hendrix dragline bucket, for instance, and it uses two 16tonne winches driven by high-pressure regulated variable displacement hydraulic motors. There is a continuously-variable fr

Transportation specialist Goldhofer is introducing a range of new semitrailer and low loader solutions. The new models include innovations in Goldhofer’s heavy-duty modules, as well as trailers and semitrailers for the construction sector. Improved payload capacities, steering performance and ride quality are all claimed. These new trailers are said to be stronger and more durable, as well as benefiting from increased versatility.

New access solutions have been developed for the TORGAR range by Spanish specialist Saltec. The new compact PT-02 industrial lift has been developed to meet the needs of the tower crane sector, for high mast applications. Meanwhile the new PL-20 is a platform type access machine that offers a 2tonne payload. The PW-6/12 work platform is the firm’s light and robust access machine that is specially designed for renovation jobs, but with a maximum platform length of 24.6m, platform width of 0.7m and maximum (s

Doosan has increased safety on its articulated dump truck (ADT) range with the addition of a levelling meter that uses rotation sensors on the front and rear chassis sections to warn the operator of the possibility of a body rollover.

Manitou exclusively revealed three new models of fixed telehandler at bauma 2013 – the MT 835, MT 1135 and MT 1335 – with lifting heights of 7.75m, 11.05m and 12.55m respectively. “This series is aimed at the rental market,” said Manitou spokesperson Damien Cocton. “The design of the three models is the same, which helps with the maintenance of the machines. It also helps the operators.” All have identical chassis, boom, engine, transmission and hydraulics. Designed with the construction sector in mind for

Yanmar’s SV26 mini crawler excavator was launched at bauma 2013. Slim enough to fit in one lane of a road and weighing in at 2590kg, the SV26 can be transported on a small trailer or light vehicle. “Although it is a compact machine, it is very powerful,” said Yanmar spokesperson Anne Chatillon. The SV26 is powered by a three-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine with direct injection and a cylinder capacity of 1330cm3, which reduces fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining high power (17.4kW at 2,400rpm).
